reverse DNS question

[Chris Gray]

When I perform a reverse lookup directed to the primary name server on
one the addresses, it doesn't return the hostname.  I have rebooted the
DNS server and made sure that forward queries are working properly. 
Also, I am new to DNS administration.  What is 'Dig'?

Cheers!
Chris.

What EXACTLY do you perceive as the problem? Dig happily finds and
reports your PTR records as does doc-2.3.3. Maybe you didn't wait long
enough for propagation.
